Animal Health

Veterinarians and our teams are central to promoting optimal health for all animal species in all settings— from pets to livestock, horses, laboratory animals, aquatic animals, zoo animals, and wildlife. We don’t just care for animals when they’re sick or injured. We help our clients select the right animal for the right purpose and recommend preventive care to keep their animals healthy.

Explore AVMA materials covering animal selection, nutrition, disease management, the responsible use of pharmaceuticals and biologics (including antimicrobials and vaccines), and more.
